We selected this hotel from the about 5-7 choices in Orta San Giulio due to proximity to the center of the town, free parking, and nice location with view. We did not regret it and would go there again. Staff is friendly and helpful and fluent in English. We enjoyed the breakfast on the terrace and made all the beautiful hikes on the peninsula without ever using the car.

My husband and I came early for a Walking Adventures trip and they were very accommodating. We did not have to switch rooms after our personally paid one night. They are within walking distance to town and have a pool. The view is wonderful! Beautiful area. Lots of hiking opportunities right at your doorstep.

Loved our stay in this hotel, the staff were lovely and very helpful. We found the shower very small which was fine for us but if we were larger it would be a problem. Loved the balcony to sit and have a relaxing afternoon in the sunshine. The hotel was in a perfect location to see the sights of the area which were beautiful. Sacro Monte Di Orta, the wood with 20 chapels was very interesting to visit. The ferries to other villages was very affordable and a pleasant experience.

Lake Orta is a beautiful town to visit
It was early in the season and the weather was bad, but the Hotel Bussola was open and welcoming. The included breakfast was great and even included custom egg orders. Since the restaurant was not open for other meals, I cannot comment on those. The outdoor pool and deck area was also not open, but looked impressive and probably hopping during the season. Orta San Guilio was a pleasant surprise as a destination and there is a lot to see in the area.

Great Location - great views
This hotel is situated on the fringe of the old town, set on the hill above and to the right of the town. It is easy to drive to without going through the town. There is plenty of outdoor parking. The hotel has a lift, servicing the three floors. Although lake view rooms are more expensive, it is worth it if you are only there for a short visit. The walk down to the town is not long at all, but it is steep, either via steps or Street, and is not very easy for people with mobility problems. The hotel has a good restaurant very good for dinner or breakfast, and comes with great views of the lake. The only small negative issue experienced was that the wi-fi connection requires repeated login after inactivity on a connected device.
